Infinite scrolling, as a dubious interface improvement

In this mini-review of the pros and cons, I would like to once again raise the holivar to understand why, after all, many web services use the so-called “infinite scroll” instead of the usual and understandable organization of page navigation.

Minuses

• There is no understanding of the entire amount of information (so how much do I still need to flip through this damn scroll to get to the end!?)
• Most of the load on the browser interface, because of what the brakes start to occur when the scroll becomes huge
• Because there is no division into conditional elements of information, that is, a page, I cannot begin to read all this footcloth from the place I need (I still don’t understand why the same tweeter, VKontakte, etc., were not implemented. preserving the scrolling state, that is, it happened when scrolling, for example, 5 additional content downloads, so yopta , save this data in the URL hash or somewhere else so that after reloading the page I got to the right place)
• The scrolling of the page itself does not always work correctly, at the moment when “it has not yet reached the end, but a new download has already started,” that is, the scroll eventually jumps to a greater value than it was before uploading.
• It’s hard to get to the footer, where links and other important information can be found.

pros

• Only the necessary content is loaded, hence less load on the server (in fact, it shouldn’t concern the user at all)
• Faster loading additional content, what would reload the new page (which, incidentally, does not interfere with making Ajax paginator)
• We do not force the user to think, that is, to perform unnecessary actions, in this case, to look for a link to the next page
• The ability to find something on the page using Ctrl + F from the entire volume of the uploaded content (on the other hand, I suspect this feature is not very much in demand for most users, and if it is in demand, you can make a separate link “all entries”)

')
In general, I ask in the comments, maybe I missed something and many will express their user experience from using such an infinitely annoying scroll.
